Dear Members,
I am a new member to this great engineering forum. it's an honour to be able to involve in this forum.
I would like to get some assistance for the work I am currently doing. I am doing a calculation for vapour liquid separator sizing check.
I having some difficulties of the steps for the calculation. Actually, I am doing the calculation to determine the design capacity of the separator and compare this with the actual operation conditions to see the whether it's above or under the design capacity (if we increase the inlet flow rate).
I have looked at some references, what they did is determine the size of the separator from the fluid properties and flow rate.
For my case, i want to determine the flow rate from the known separator size and actual operation condition. Let say:
Horizontal Separator with mist extractor
Standard flow rate = 150 ft3/s
Operating conditions P = 800 psia , T = 80 F
Vessel D = 9 ft, L = 25 ft
How can i work this out? Can somebody assist me with this calculation?
I would be appreciated if you can help me. Thank you,
Regards.
